Bra D.O.P. cheese is made in the Piedmont region. There are two versions, a young and soft Bra and an aged one that is crumbly and hard. A few Bra cheeses are still made in the mountains and are labeled di alpeggio.

The main characteristics of Bra cheeses are that they are pressed and semi hard cheeses partially made from skimmed milk.

The younger Bra is called Tenero and is milk and buttery. The aged version, the Bra Duro, has darker yellow paste and an oily rind.

The soft cheese is especially used on its own, while the hard cheese can also be grated. Both are well accompanied by red wine.
